[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Hi all... I started a new project and felt like it would be a good idea to post it here so I could get some feedback or suggestions on the build.

Despite their small stature, touring have always amazed me with the high rate of acceleration and the ability to go through corners so well at some cray speeds... The high cost of acquiring one these kits
kept me at bay for a long time because I could not justify the spend... So I got me a used unit... I found this XRAY T1 EVO2 (seen below in first photo) on ebay for only $52 shipped... I decided to start
with a car that would allow me to go through the build process without confusing me to death... to appreciation the work that goes into these the little machines, I disassembled the car to get a closer look
at each of its components... I also went online seeking any info from other users of the car... though the the kit was released back in 2002, they were quite a few cars still being driven at club events with
relatively good success... They are now very popular with the drift community... I also found out that they were five other models Designated 'T1' from xray that would facilitate cross use of parts and upgrades:

XRAY T1
XRAY T1 RAYCER
XRAY T1 MINI
XRAY T1 FK and XRAY T1FK'05 (which is similar to the current layout of the T2's and T3's Chassis)

I decided to go shopping for some upgrades and accessories for the build... Luckily, Xray still lists the parts on their site... unfortunately, most of the hobby shops I got in touch with did not want to do business
with me because my shipping address was not the same as my billing... So, I had to go searching on ebay again... very limited options for the T1, but good deals will pop up every now and then..

I removed the anodizing and gave the bulks a little polishing




Front C-hubs on the left with stock pivot ball suspension on the right




Rear C-hubs and new suspension arms




The Xray adjustable shocks have 4 settings, each of which can be felt by a little "click"... I got some new 'Blue - soft-medium springs' for them
